The Novaya Zemlya effect refers to a meteorological phenomenon that occurs in the Arctic regions, particularly associated with the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in Russia. It involves an optical illusion caused by the unique atmospheric conditions of the area, such as temperature inversions and the presence of cold air over warmer waters or land. This effect can result in the appearance of objects (like land or ships) being displaced from their actual positions.
